— Tony Briggs, senior Yoga teacher

I love Melissa’s class because she is down to earth, knows the physical mechanics of the body, & is a dedicated student herself. Melissa is easy to listen to and follow. Her clear direction through practice allows class to flow, offering up more challenging options to asanas for exploration while maintaining the importance of breath & listening to ones own body for cues. I’m always encouraged in a fun way to take myself to my edges in her class.
